Mt. Kailash, a very sacred mountain amongst all Hindus is revered for bringing the abode of Lord Shiva. It is believed to be the physical incarnation of the mythical Mount Meru, also said to be the center of the universe or ‘Navel of the World’, depicted as a Mandala. Mount Kailash is holy to the followers of four religions. To Hindus, Kailash is the abode of Lord Shiva. Tibetans call Kailash as Kang Rimpoche. Jains worship it as Mount Ashtapada, the peak from which the religion’s founder, Rishabanatha, achieved spiritual liberation. Every year, hundreds of devotees participate in this spiritual and holy trail seeking for blessings of the Lord and take a dip in the holy lake of Mansarovar. Followers of Bon-Po revere Kailash as the soul of Tibet. It is said that a single Parikarma erases the accumulated sins of a lifetime, while 108 will achieve Salvation. 

Lake Mansarovar (4510m), a sacred lake situated into the heart of Himalaya is believed to be adobe of purity. Taking a bath will cleanse all your sins you have committed over a hundred lifetime. Kailash Mansarovar Yatra is a trip of a lifetime with stunning scenery and cultural highlights with Himalayan wilderness in a land of Buddhist culture, Artistic Monasteries and Centuries-old caravan trails.
